A western disturbance has altered the weather, prompting the meteorological department to issue a light‑to‑moderate rain alert for four districts in the Patiala region today.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has identified a western disturbance moving across the northern plains, bringing a shift in weather patterns over Punjab. As a result, an alert for light to moderate rainfall has been issued for four districts within the Patiala division for today.
Forecasters expect intermittent showers to begin in the early morning, with the heaviest periods likely between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Rainfall intensity is projected to remain below 10 mm per hour, but localized pockets could see slightly higher accumulation.
Authorities have advised residents to carry umbrellas, avoid unnecessary travel during peak rain periods, and take precautions to prevent water‑logging in low‑lying areas. Agricultural activities may experience brief disruptions, though the moisture is expected to benefit crops awaiting the monsoon.
The IMD will continue to monitor the system and update the public if conditions intensify or expand to neighboring districts.
